Considers God beyond human understanding and language. To emphasize the “otherness” of God, this system only defines God negatively in terms of what He is not (i.e. God is not finite, not sinful, etc.).
From the Greek preposition ἀπό meaning “from” or “away from” (also seen in the word apostate). Apophatic theology sees God as wholly away from mankind and indescribable in human terms. Human language is only capable of describing what God is not. This is in contrast with Cataphatic Theology.
